How Does the 1,200 tph Mobile Screening Plant Handle Variable Feed Conditions?
The Mobile Screening Plant is defined by its 3.5 m³ feed hopper and 6.5 m² double-deck screen, which together support a maximum throughput of 1,200 tonnes per hour. The hopper accepts material up to 600 mm in size, and the variable-speed belt feeder (0.3–1.2 m/s) allows operators to match the feed rate to the screen's capacity, preventing overload and reducing blinding. The double-deck configuration produces three product fractions simultaneously—for example, 0–5 mm, 5–20 mm, and +20 mm—with a screening efficiency of 85–92% depending on moisture content. The track-mounted undercarriage uses 400 mm wide steel tracks with a ground pressure of 0.65 kg/cm², enabling operation on soft ground and slopes up to 15 degrees. This specification is not a generic mobile screen; it is a production-class unit built for continuous duty in abrasive environments.
Typical applications include quarry face screening after blasting, where the plant separates oversize rock for secondary crushing while producing saleable aggregate; construction and demolition waste recycling, where it removes fines and ferrous contamination before further processing; and sand and gravel pit operations, where it produces specification-grade material for concrete and asphalt. The 1,200 tph capacity means a single unit can replace two smaller screens on a large site, reducing labor and fuel costs per tonne. The hydraulic folding discharge conveyor is a key differentiator: it folds to a transport length of 12.5 m, so the plant can be moved on a standard low-bed trailer without removing the conveyor—a process that typically takes 30–45 minutes on competing models.
Compared to the smaller 800 tph model in the same series, this 1,200 tph version uses a wider 1,200 mm discharge conveyor and a heavier-duty screen box with reinforced side plates, which extends the service life of the screen media by approximately 25% in hard-rock applications. The engine is a 74 kW Tier 4 Final unit with a 200 L fuel tank, providing 10–12 hours of continuous operation. The plant also includes a radio remote control with a 100 m range, allowing the operator to adjust tracking, feeder speed, and conveyor folding from the excavator cab. For contractors who need to move between sites weekly, the track system and hydraulic folding functions reduce mobilization time to under 15 minutes from arrival to production.
